heaven money

Huh, Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The matter of sneaking into the Qionghua Banquet was initially resolved.

Not long after, the two arrived at the Su family ancestral hall. Before entering, Meng Qi felt a surge of powerful thoughts rushing back and forth, as if there were raging waves inside.

This is the remaining will of the powerful people who died in the external scene. The more recently they died, the stronger it is.

Meng Qi took a deep breath, calmed himself, and took a step forward with a firm will, thinking to himself:
"I bear your body and your karma!"

He worshipped solemnly, his mind was empty and he didn't think about anything else. When he finished worshipping, he suddenly found that his body felt much lighter, as if it was less restrained, and he became more lively!

It really works... Meng Qi struck while the iron was hot and asked in a low voice:

"Father, why did you send me to Shaolin?"

Su Li was stunned for a moment and sighed:
"Since it has already passed, don't ask about it anymore. The past is like yesterday's death."

He paused, and then lowered his voice, which only rang softly in the ancestral hall:

"In short, be careful of your fifth uncle, people's hearts are hidden..."

Be careful of Su Yue again? Meng Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to ask again when he heard Su Li say:

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, why did you agree to compete with the Ke brothers?"

They? Meng Qi didn't care about the Ke brothers at all. Moreover, he had fully recovered after taking the elixir last night. The things he had been thinking about last night and this morning had nothing to do with them. He was a little dazed when he heard it suddenly.

He immediately smiled and said:
"What if they only have half the strength?"

Su Li looked at him carefully before saying:
"Then go quickly, they are waiting for you in the martial arts arena."

He believed that his son, who was already ranked first on the Human List, understood his own strength better than anyone else. If he thought there was no problem, then there must be no problem.

Meng Qi temporarily suppressed his doubts and slowly walked towards the martial arts arena.

He knew the Su family's layout by heart.

The martial arts arena was crowded with people, all dressed in gorgeous robes. Among them, a woman was the most conspicuous. She had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes that were bright but not sharp, and her eyes were as gentle as water. Beautiful girls such as Su Ziyue surrounded her, like stars surrounding the moon.

Liu Shuyu... Meng Qi guessed who she was without any introduction.

On the other side, three people were staring at Meng Qi with eager eyes. The leader was tall and slender, and looked good, but with a hint of resentment and sarcasm on his face.

Su Ziyue came forward and whispered to Meng Qi:

“Second brother, the other two are here to join in the fun. They have only just opened nine orifices. The main one is the one in the middle. His name is Ke Changji, the third son of the Ke family. He is already thirty-four years old. He opened all nine orifices a few years ago, but because he failed to master the outdoor moves and lacked a record of restraining strong enemies, he was not on the list of people. Maybe now he has some spiritual connection with the gods…”

Even though Meng Qi often encounters opponents who have mastered outdoor moves, this is mainly because he is at a high level and faces strong enemies. In fact, most young martial artists with inheritance are unable to master outdoor moves or practice a certain outdoor skill to perfection. In a martial arts sect like Zhenwu, there are only about ten people in this generation who can do this, and there is not a single one in the Ke family of Shendu!
Meng Qi smiled and patted her shoulder:

"It's not a spiritual connection."

Su Ziyue was stunned:

"Does Jiuqiao dare to challenge you, my second brother?"

She felt this was an insult to her second brother.

Ke Changji took a step forward and laughed loudly:
"I have been in seclusion for many years. As soon as I came out, I heard that Kuang Dao pointed out that there is no one in my Ke family. Is this true?"

He showed his full momentum and the situation changed drastically.

"Half-step exterior scene!"

Su Ziyue covered her mouth.

Meng Qi sneered and said:

"Half-step exterior? You really have confidence in yourself. I should have challenged you when I came to Shendu that day, instead of thinking that I was injured and then daring to come forward to take advantage of me!"

A strong wind blew up in the martial arts arena, and clouds gathered, like long white dragons with bared fangs and claws, crossing the sky.

Such a strange sight and such a commotion made every young man from aristocratic family know clearly that Ke Changji was already half a step away!
"How come he is even halfway outside the scene..." A young lady from a noble family said to herself in shock.

Liu Shuyu beside her smiled and said, "The third brother of the Ke family opened all nine orifices five years ago. At this time last year, I heard that he had successfully cultivated the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows. He might have achieved the communication between heaven and man. Now it seems that he must have achieved the breakthrough to the half-step outer realm in one go after the communication between heaven and man."

“So that’s how it is…” The other children from noble families nodded, suddenly realizing.

Su Ziyue was in disbelief at first, then became angry and annoyed, pointing at Ke Changji and said:

"You, you took advantage of someone's misfortune..."

She knew that her second brother's injuries were quite serious and he would definitely not be able to recover in just one day. But before she could finish her words, she saw Meng Qi take a step forward and block the sunlight coming through the white clouds.

"If all the children of the Ke family were like you, they would be rotten inside and would not be able to support the family business."

His tone was neither angry nor surprised, and contained no trace of sarcasm, and he spoke directly.

Meng Qi is now extraordinary. Not to mention recovering from his injuries, even if he had not taken the elixir last night, it would be easy for him to face such a loser who hurriedly broke through to the half-step exterior realm. You should know that in his second reincarnation mission, Duoercha's realm was half a step to the exterior realm. At that time, Meng Qi had not yet opened his mind, and Duoercha's foundation was three times deeper than that of Ke Changji in front of him!

"you!"

Ke Changji was shocked and angry. He had clearly shown his ability to reach the half-step outer realm, yet he still dared to say that?
Kuang Dao is too stubborn and arrogant! The other children of the noble families all thought so, and Liu Shuyu nodded slightly.

Meng Qi put his hands behind his back, looking as calm as a mountain:
"After the heaven and man communicated, he hurried to the half-step outer scene. Didn't your elders teach you what "Xianguan Wuhui" means?
Even if we don’t talk about the unity of man and nature, we must at least cultivate ourselves for a period of time before we can go into seclusion.”

His tone was calm, as if he was instructing a younger generation.

"Entrance, entrance without regrets..."

Ke Changji stuttered half a sentence. His grandfather had naturally told him about this, but he completely ignored it. He thought he could just follow the steps to get promoted. Why go through so much trouble?

Haven’t you seen how many people who have achieved the half-step external realm through the communication between heaven and man can eventually merge the internal and external aspects and step into a higher realm step by step, but it’s just not that fast!

Apart from the illusory and untraceable initial step of finding one's own path, just the unity of man and nature is enough to make people feel daunted. I wonder how many people have wasted half their lives and still failed to take this step!
Normally speaking, if one has a good technique, good aptitude, and the nine orifices open early, and the qi and blood are not weakened, the martial artists in the main world only need to practice the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows step by step, and after a period of time, they will eventually be able to achieve the unity of heaven and man, which is better than the many reincarnation worlds that have not practiced the technique of the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows. However, the unity of heaven and man depends entirely on one's own tempering of mind and perception of the world. There will never be more than ten people on the human list at a time.

Ke Changji would never admit that he wanted to break through early and shock the children of the noble families in Shendu.

At this moment, in the eyes of many children from aristocratic families, Meng Qi was as imposing as a mountain and spoke like a senior, while Ke Changji was timid and did not have the demeanor of an opponent of the "same level" at all, as if he was a junior in the Qi Accumulation Stage who was frightened because a strong man pointed out his own problems.

"Sister Liu, what is the Gate of No Regrets?" a young lady from an aristocratic family asked curiously.

Many people present were quite young and had low levels of cultivation. At most, they had opened their eyes and ears, and were still far from achieving the state of no regrets. Naturally, the elders in their families would not mention it deliberately.

Liu Shuyu's smile was gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. "Once the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows is opened, the mysterious gate of life and death is broken, the inner and outer heaven and earth resonate with each other, and the initial shape is finalized. No major adjustments can be made. Therefore, people who are determined to achieve higher goals will stabilize and polish after the interaction between heaven and man, reflect on themselves, and complete adjustments in advance to avoid regrets in the future. This is called no regrets at the mysterious gate."

She did not directly explain the meaning of Meng Qi's words, but after understanding Xuanguan Wuhui, the children of the noble families present all understood that Su Erlang was referring to Ke Changji's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, unstable foundation, and worrying future. Ke Changji was angry and took a deep breath and said: "How many seniors were promoted from the interaction between heaven and man? Humph, talking is useless, let's see the real thing with our hands! Changqing, you challenge the 'Wild Blade Young Hero' first."

He planned to let his younger brother test it first to see how serious Kuang Dao's injuries were, so as to avoid being careless and underestimating the enemy.

Ke Changqing and Ke Changji are brothers from the same mother and look quite similar, but Ke Changqing, who is nearly thirty years old, still looks immature.

Meng Qi touched the hilt of the knife with his right hand and smiled:
"I originally wanted to take on the three of you together, but I don't want to take advantage of you. Let's take them one by one."

The first half of the sentence shocked the children of the noble families so much that their heads were dizzy. He actually planned to fight three against one despite being seriously injured. He was really arrogant and deserved the name of Crazy Blade!

But later, the cheap talk made them realize that Mad Blade seemed to be best at group battles!
Ke Changqing was a little excited and nervous. He didn't know how many tricks he could hold out. The more tricks he could hold out, the more famous he would become!
He stepped out and just as he made his starting stance, he saw Kuang Dao on the opposite side open his mouth.

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly sounded in his ears, like a thunderclap, shaking his soul.

This made his head buzz, his vision went dark, his feet felt weak and powerless, and stepping on the ground felt like walking on clouds.

Purple lightning flashed before his eyes, his body felt heavy, the darkness intensified, and he fell to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Su Ziyue and other children of noble families looked extremely confused. How come Su Meng just snorted and Ke Changqing fainted from fright? Was this one move or half a move?
"It should be a skill similar to the Shaolin Lion's Roar, and it can focus the sound into thorns without disturbing others. It can generate lightning and thunder, so it should be of the external grade..." Liu Shuyu explained to everyone with a wave of her eyes.

Su Ziyue had left the place of the fight and returned to Liu Shuyu. Hearing this, he looked at her with admiration: "Sister Liu, you are really well-informed and have outstanding vision. My second brother learned from Shaolin, so it's not surprising that he can roar like a lion."

Liu Shuyu shook her head and looked at Meng Qi deeply: "It's not a lion's roar, but closer to the Taoist thunder and lightning mantra."

Meng Qi stood with his hands behind his back and watched Ke Changji rescue his brother in a rage, and nodded slightly. This Liu Shuyu had a really good vision, which could not be measured by the six orifices realm.

It is not surprising to see other things because they are obvious, but the fact that his "Lei Yan" has reached the level of external scenery after being improved by the "Yi Jin Jing" is something that cannot be seen without outstanding vision.

"Next." His tone was calm, as if he was a teacher testing his junior.

Ke Changji looked at his cousin next to him and said gloomily:
"Changle, close your ears first."

Although this may not be able to defend against the opponent's thunder and lightning mantra, it can at least eliminate most of the effects, so that he won't fall to the ground before he even makes a move, and bring shame to the Ke family!
Ke Changle took a deep breath, walked forward cautiously, bowed, and then flew up, using his skills to go behind Meng Qi. He formed his hands into claws and went straight for his ears with the power of crushing gold and splitting rocks.

He had long heard that Kuang Dao had the Golden Bell Cover and other body-protecting skills, so he deliberately chose the weak spot!
Meng Qi did not move, as if he could not react in time. Ke Changle was delighted, but then he felt that the opponent was like a vast ocean, and his own strength could hardly cause ripples!
Meng Qi's foundation is now very profound, and he has reached the stage of returning to nature. His practice of "The Great Freedom and Invincible Vajra Subduing Demons" is even more ingrained in his bones, and is no less than the basic practice of the Eight or Nine Mysterious Arts.

The shadow of a giant golden bell appeared on Meng Qi's body, and infinite golden light emerged.

"when!"

The golden bell shook, and Ke Changle's energy that attacked Meng Qi's weak spot immediately bounced back, and under Meng Qi's power, the power became even stronger.

Two familiar energies were ethereal and unpredictable, and they immediately broke Ke Changle's protective energy, causing him to stagger backwards and fall to the ground.

He won against Ke Changle without even making a move? Su Ziyue and other children from aristocratic families were quite stunned.

They knew that Kuang Dao was very strong, but they never thought he could be this strong. Ke Changqing and Ke Changle were both nine-orifice masters after all, but they were as fragile as children in the Qi-accumulating period in front of him!

"This is an extremely advanced method of using the Golden Bell Cover. It seems to be blessed by the true meaning of Buddhism. That's why Ke Jiulang didn't have any premonition and was directly hit by the rebounded attack."

Liu Shuyu pondered for a moment and expressed his opinion.

Meng Qi frowned slightly. Her taste was too good.

With the Immortal Seal that he had just entered the external scene, even if he had not yet perfected it, it would not be difficult for him to utilize Ke Changle's own strength. He could also use the protective energy to directly counterattack, but the traces would be too obvious and it would be difficult for one move to be effective. Therefore, he incorporated the true meaning of Vajra Conquering Demons, which not ordinary people could see!

Could it be that she is gifted...

Meng Qi didn't think too much. He looked at Ke Changji opposite him, took a step forward, and spoke in a steady voice without any ripples:
"You dare to challenge me when I am injured. Do you have so little confidence in yourself?"

"And you even brought your two younger brothers with you to test my injuries, so that you would have the courage to take action?"

"Where is your will to fight? Where is your fighting spirit?"

The shouts without much emotion reverberated throughout the venue and directly pierced Ke Changji's heart, making his face turn red. He didn't dare to look at the crowd, his momentum dropped sharply, and he was timid!

At this moment, in the eyes of Su Ziyue and others, Meng Qi became tall, upright and indomitable, while Ke Changji shrank and did not dare to face him directly, like a dwarf looking up at a giant.

"Where is your will to fight?"

"What about your fighting spirit?"

After suppressing the momentum, Meng Qi drew out the long sword with his right hand. His posture was natural and flawless.

Ke Changji became furious and stretched out his hands. The wind and clouds moved, and a long white dragon surged down, like a dragon claw.

At the same time, golden light shone on the surface of his hands. It turned out that he was wearing a layer of gloves as thin as a cicada's wing. His energy was stimulated, and it seemed as if there was a net in the air. The rocks on the ground protruded and sandwiched Meng Qi.

This attack actually had some of the power of an outdoor scene!
"Baobing..."

Su Ziyue gnashed his teeth and thought, the elders of the Ke family are so shameless! They actually gave Ke Changji the treasured weapon so early!
This is obviously for this challenge!

The aristocratic families in Shendu are not like the martial arts sects or big families like the Ruan family, who can equip their children who are half a step away from the external realm with precious weapons. They often observe their potential and only grant them after confirming that they have hope for the external realm. However, Ke Changji had just made a breakthrough not long ago.

Seeing this attack, Meng Qi seemed to have returned to the beginning. He slashed at Jiang Hengchuan with a strike at the level of a scene, but he lost control and the movement was stiff. He used the state of unity between man and nature to break free from the lock, and the side attack was weak and blocked directly.

The knife flashed, and Meng Qi seemed to turn into a cloud, connecting to the earth, and became indistinguishable from the white dragon, the stone spikes on the ground, etc.

The long sword was extremely soft, moving with the waves in the strong wind, without being affected by the force, thus avoiding the sharp edge.

Suddenly, the long sword moved mysteriously, in accordance with the laws of heaven and earth, and strangely broke free from the heavy restraints, flew into the sky, and jumped out of Ke Changji's locked moves!

Ke Changji's spirit was taken away, his mind was broken, and he became angry and humiliated. He immediately mobilized his precious weapons and used his special skills. He did not take advantage of the opportunity at all, so Meng Qi easily avoided his attack.

The long sword returned naturally after its force was exhausted, and the sword light was dim and dark, like the deepest and most profound desire in the heart.

Ke Changji blocked the attack with both hands, took advantage of the situation to counterattack and gained the upper hand. Finally, after a hard fight, he finally defeated Kuang Dao with just half a move.

The young men from the noble families around were all stunned, and then they showed expressions of admiration and worship, while Liu Shuyu turned pale, her eyes flickered, and her face flushed slightly.

"Haha." Ke Changji was in a good mood and laughed out loud.

"Sister Liu, the knife is on his neck, why is he still laughing?" Su Ziyue's puzzled voice reached Ke Changji's ears.

Ke Changji woke up suddenly and saw Meng Qi sheathing his sword and returning with an expressionless face. The acquaintances around him all had puzzled and pitiful expressions, and seemed to be secretly mocking him.

His face flushed red, and he turned and left, never wanting to stay here again.

I must have laughed like a fool just now! (End of this chapter)
